New Delhi: The International Civil Aviation Organisation has decided to conduct a partial audit of the sector in India in February, which government officials hope will improve the country’s ranking even as it recovers from the impact of the coronavirus and the crash of an Air India Express plane at Kozhikode airport.
ICAO audits typically look at eight aspects of an aviation market, but this time the UN agency will take up only five of them – personnel licensing and training, aircraft operations, airworthiness of aircraft, and organisational and legislative matters – all under the Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
